Updated view of the roster. Currently sitting at 92 scholarship players so will need at least 7 couch sales between now and fall camp. We have no K or P on scholarship and I wouldn't be surprised if we add another QB at some point so we may need up to 10 guys to kick rocks.

My best guesses at upcoming attrition
-Dumas
-Sunday
-Adams
-Wyrsch
-Peacock
-Murao
-Curne
-Tinae

    I could see Taj Davis and/or Jabez Tinae leaving.

    I also think Huard will go. Morris has already gotten the chance to play and was not a "pedigreed" 5-star coming in. Doubt he thinks that he can develop and have any chance playing professionally after college. Huard probably still holds out that hope and would be smart to look elsewhere for playing time.

    I was really surprised to hear Newton say he’s coming back.

    These 4 seem like locks to leave:
    Sunday
    Murao
    Curne
    Tinae

    I hesitate to put prior transfers like Dumas and Nixon on lists as potential transfers although I don’t think Dumas played at all and Nixon barely played. I feel like Adams had as much of not more PT than Nixon.

    I think DeBoer will keep special teams players off scholarship, with Gross or Schrock at K and McCallister at P

    We may not have 10 players portal since every year we do have players medically retire. I don't want to speculate on that, but that will be a source of freeing up scholarships

    Is the 85 a hard limit with Covid and giving seniors an extra year? Thought there was some stipulation that the extra year for those folks didn’t count towards the 85.

    Why not throw out some names?

    It's not easy to pick which ones for me, but I expect 3 running backs and two more receivers to leave. One of the receivers will be someone that got reps and targets this season (Taj Davis or Giles Jackson please don't be Polk).

    So there are 5.

    Two more DBs will portal but I can't guess which since they're all so shitty. So that's 7.

    I think an interior DL will portal. I could see Bandes being the guy. That's 8.

    Murao seems like a no brainier on the OL. I don't think Curne leaving is imminent but I'd guess one more OL. That's 10.

    I think they'll portal 12+ as they aren't done bringing guys in. t's hard to pick names outside of a few obvious guys. We know the RB list is going to shrink by a lot, that there is too much WR talent to keep that whole room together, and that more attrition is needed in the defensive backfield. It's the DBs that I have the most trouble with. They had to play every healthy body so it's hard for me to tell who they really wanted to have out there.

    Yeah I wasn't buying off that he was going to leave even though he keeps getting mentioned. Would have thought he'd have an inside track at one guard spot.

    Yeah, you rarely see an olineman with that much game experience suddenly get benched with 0 chance at playing time.

    Given what we saw on the lines this past year, I'm not worried at all. Rosengarten came in and was a fucking mauler on day 1.

    Adding a few more to my list. This should get the roster down to 85.

    1 Curne
    2 Dumas
    3 Sunday
    4 Adams
    5 Wyrsch
    6 Peacock
    7 Murao
    8 Tinae
    9 Giles Jackson
    10 K Fab
    11 Davon Banks or Elijah Jackson
